%X The He I photoelectron spectrum of 1-bromotricyclo[2.2.1.02.6] heptane (1- bromonortricyclene ) is compared with that of the parent alkane . Extensive conjugation between bromine and alkane orbitals in the low ionization-energy range produces a complex band pattern which is adequately described by ab initio valence-electron molecular orbital calculations. Consequently 1-bromo-nortricyclene presents a rare example of an alkyl halide in which the halogen character is neither highly localized nor smeared over a high density of states.
